Robyn Dixon has been a staple on 'RHOP' since Season 1.

The past few seasons have been rocky for Robyn, with speculation surrounding her marriage to Juan Dixon following endless rumors he's cheated. Robyn faced scrutiny from fans and her RHOP castmates, who accused her of choosing not to address the alleged infidelities on camera and, instead, opted to shift the focus onto rumors that allegedly harmed others' livelihoods.

Candiace was the most outspoken about this, with the Bravolebrity accusing Robyn of peddling rumors about Dillard's husband, Chris Bassett.

If Robyn is exiting, she and Candiace picked an interesting time, considering there will likely be a lot of heat on one of their costars when production resumes.

RadarOnline.com told you first — Karen's Maserati caught on fire and she was pulled from the vehicle after losing control of the car, slamming into several traffic signs, and crashing into a tree last week. The Grande Dame of Potomac refused a breathalyzer and was taken into custody.

Karen was charged with driving under the influence and hit with several infractions, including allegations of negligent and reckless driving. She released a statement about the accident but failed to take responsibility for the charges against her.
